To be fair this is not Musks fault, this is Indonesia being Indonesia.
I don't think the point is that it's his fault they have crazy laws. I think it's his fault that he didn't anticipate this would be a problem. I'm sure he did ZERO due diligence. I guarantee this came as a surprise to him.
A failure to do market research is absolutely a company owner's fault.
Indonesia being Indonesia is not musk's fault, but not doing the bare minimum of looking into things is musk's fault.
You are extremely charitable my friend but Indonesia is not going to stop being Indonesia for Elon, so yes this is Musk's strategic error. You don't abrubtly change your entire multibillion dollar brand without doing some due diligence on the implications it will have. Or maybe he truly is deranged enough to believe he doesn't need customers in 4th most populous country to run a successful social media site.
Yes but he could have seen it coming, X.⠀ com sounds like a porn site. (or a video game about killing Aliens...)
People have been telling him that since the late 90s early 00s when he was trying to change PayPal’s name to X. He refuses to listen.
Or like Mac OS X, or American History X, etc.
No. Just like porn or a game, everything else is unknown to normal people.
I don't think normal people know any games with X. At least I don't.
Never heard of it and I think so hasn't any of my family and close friends I assume, they would have mentioned it.
